I haven't used any of these 3. I have heard (check the Debian Weekly news from last week, or the week before) that Corel is selling off their dist, and Stormix filed for bankruptcy. I have a friend who uses Corel, and he says it is very easy to configure and is good for people who don't want to learn vi and the FHS to configure the system. I would recommend NOT using RH7.0. No use giving new users (or anyone for that matter) a broken compiler and libc. (This began the end of RH for me :-)) If they want to try upgrading stuff, then apt is the best experience they can have. -D
